Great review. Always love your reviews, so informative & you're not afraid to play with the toys. Especially enjoy those featuring your guest reviewer

Supply & demand, those who work should be paid

Eagerly waiting for Scorched Earth Toys video review for the VF-31C! Checking everyday

Does Bandai post scans of instruction manual? Thanks

Max quantity is up to 3. 

10 days after release & still available although price may be a little higher. Yes preorders all sold out, but they are available after release. I worried for nothing

Opened up my package today.

I really like the colours and appearance of this figure in all modes.

My only issue is that I can't seem to securely lock the torso together. The bottom tabs are up but when I push the top half down onto it, it's like only one side is able to tab in while the other doesn't. This makes trying the pose the figure difficult as whenever I try to move the arms the whole top half comes undone.

The back tabs remains locked though.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I've watched the ScorchedEarthToys transformation video, and I can't rememebr having this issue with my VF-31J.

Which location is not locking because there are several locking points? From bottom there are 2 gray tabs that pinch behind 2 red metal bars. The top part with the head clips beneath into back of the canopy. There is also a gray U shaped piece that is bent under the head

Seems decently common on this release---I just tried alternating between the two hinges (each end of the bar) and eventually got it loose, though some paint chipped off the bar.  (Not really visible in any mode).  

Thanks, my first VF-31. Forced the metal joints to move a few times then trimmed the scraped paint. These metal double hinges should be cast in final color because paint too thick. Impossible for paint to remain intact in these metal to metal joints. This may be my first VF-31, but not Bandai's

Damn frozen left shoulder, cannot transform. Maybe if I force it, it will move

Just paid HLJ. Which is the most accurate color? Every photo different- purple or red

Thanks

It's all here, take a look and decide if any of them are 100% alike

 

Thanks great resource. Paint, minor head variations, VF-31E radar dish different. Seems 99% same mold, unless there are hidden mechanical design differences

Different head.  Two lasers instead of one. 

Thanks, may I ask if any others share the VF-31C mold?

Purchased SV-262 from HLJ using FedEx. Japan to Vancouver BC to NY. No customs duty

VF-31C same mold as VF-31J? Thanks
